Uath Matters.
No further action will be taken concerning the
right of Dr. Bernhisel to his seat as delegate, the
Committee on Territories not being able, officially,
to ascertain that Utah is in a state of rebellion.
The Union publishes a letter from Fort Bridger,
April 10, stating, on the authority of Mr. Gilbert,
formerly a merchant of Salt Lake city, that Gov.
Cumming and Col. Kane were met in Echo Canon, 45
miles this side of Salt Lake city, on the 7th of April.
About 20 Mormons accompanied them. On his way to
Salt Lake from California, Mr. Gilbert met with
large numbers of wagons, heavily loaded, on the
way, it was supposed, to the White Mountains,
near the borders of New Mexico. Nearly 100 persons
leave the city daily, and, so far as women and
children were concerned, the city was nearly depopulated.
It was supposed a large portion of them
were secreted on City Creek, above Salt Lake, in the
mountain, where it is known they have large caches
of provisions. In conversation with Brigham Young,
Mr. Gilbert was told that if the army would give him
time he would leave, "otherwise he would send them
to hell, across lots." The correspondent adds: —
We are waiting news from the Governor with much
interest and anxiety. His early return to camp
is not looked for by many, as he took with him
large supplies.
